Solicitors Specialising in Helping Landlords

In the modern day the law of the land is ever more complex. The small legal practice that covers everything from divorce to conveyancing and wills still has a role to play, but many sectors of the law need real specialisation. Commercial and landlord and tenant law involves a number of aspects in itself and landlords with portfolios of any size are really better off going to someone that concentrates on that aspect every day.

In an ideal world there are no problems, but that is not the reality when it comes to the real world. Any landlord should really have a specialist retained to look after the legal aspects of the business.

Landlord solicitors Exeter will act on your behalf

Initial contract​


The need for a good solicitor begins with the initial contract between landlord and tenant and will involve every aspect of the relationship including the resolution of disputes and ultimately the eviction process if the relationship breaks down. It is important that you get someone with experience in this field and a contract that is amended in line with new legislation as and when it happens.

There is no substitute for getting things right in the first place. A water tight contract that recognises current legislation will start the relationship well because both sides will understand their rights as well as their obligations. That does not mean that problems cannot occur. The recent economic climate has led to unforeseen problems; the failure to pay rent has been an obvious result with businesses struggling. Individuals who have lost their jobs have found similar problems as well.

Eviction​


There is a defined eviction process that such solicitors will handle, whether the property is commercial or residential. The process is usually started because of arrears but may also commence because of tenant behaviour or obvious breach of contract.

If you are seeking eviction, your legal representatives will issue two simultaneous notices, a 14 day notice seeking possession and a two month notice of the termination of the existing agreement. Sometimes that action alone will make the tenant realise you are serious. That in itself may get a resolution of the problem without the need to proceed to court.

There are likely to be fixed fees available for the various processes involved in residential eviction. It is the County Court that will make the judgement in each case.

Judgement​


Once a judgement has been achieved, the eviction and bailiff requirements will be arranged by your solicitor until the successful conclusion.

It is particularly important not to let commercial arrears mount up too much because inevitably it may make their collection far more difficult. Commercial action is more complex and you will need to discuss the potential costs involved in ridding yourself of an awkward tenant.

Specialist landlord solicitors Exeter will provide a service to anyone in the South West, primarily Devon of course. It is worth making an initial contact to find out more. It could result in your having one less thing to worry about as you run your business.
